I've been in tag mode lately. You too? I've seen them popping up everywhere
and I think they're super versatile. Stick them on a card or tie them on a gift.
On my first tag I used all products from My Favorite Things.
I love that polar bear, all snuggly in his sweater with a hot beverage in hand.
And the sweater stitch background stamp? A perfect match!
The second tag uses the Paper Smooches snowman (again!)
with a sentiment from Technique Tuesday.
with a sentiment from Technique Tuesday.
See the background? It's an old technique that looks like embossing paste.
I ink distressed the top portion of the tag and used an embossing folder
that looks like falling snow. Then I used a sanding block and gently went over
the dots and "took away" the color. Embossing paste look without the mess!
